Funny, right? But yeah, he's really, actually running for congress. Vote Kauffman! (This is why I need to move to NH)

Yeah, I am pretty sure whatever is left of the SS would like a word with this guy for besmirching their name.

Axis power hetalia?

No, but it's funny that the guy had a Tanya the Evil Avatar because:
1. People with Tanya Avis are always the most insufferable.
2. Saga of Tanya the Evil was written by a leftist.

So? Doesn't mean Tanya isn't entertaining or dangerously based. I bet it eats away at the author that his most-known and -liked work portrays a raging capitalist in the right and the commies as paedophiles and losers.

Tanya is second best murderwaifu.

A raging capitalist who was supposed to be a parody, at that.

Tanya varies significantly by adaptation, but her visceral hatred for communists is pretty easy to sympathize with.

And the long-running plot thread of 'communication failure' is extremely human.

Commies tend to backfire that way, when they try to deconstruct something they often either hop over to the other end of the horseshoe or just make the "baddie" more sympathetic and interesting.
See new Guy and IIRC they actually tried to do that in at least one major western, dunno if it was High Noon or Rio Bravo, I think Razorfist mentioned it, only for Either Ike or Reagan to praise the main character as "a shining example of rugged american individualism fighting against the world." or some such shit.

A classic example is My Beautiful Laundrette. The director/writer tried go full woke during the Thatcher 80s and write a massive indictment of the government, only backfired horribly into one of the most pro-Capitalism, pro-Thatcher films ever.

David Boez of the Cato Institute on the movie:

“What’s interesting about this film is that novelist/screenwriter Hanif Kureishi thought he was making a savage indictment of Thatcherite capitalism. But to me, the good characters in the movie — white and Pakistani, gay and straight — are the ones who work for a living, and the bad characters are clearly the whining socialist immigrant intellectual, who doesn’t like his son opening a small business, and the British thugs who try to intimidate the young Pakistani businessman. My favorite line: The enterprising brother of the layabout intellectual takes a young working-class Briton with him to evict some deadbeat tenants. The young Brit suggests that it’s surprising the Pakistani businessman would be evicting people of color. And the businessman says, ‘I’m a professional businessman, not a professional Pakistani. There is no question of race in the new enterprise culture.’ I think Kureishi thinks that’s a bad attitude. The joke’s on him.”

will clearly deserves better, as hollywood husbands go he's by all accounts a great guy.

I have some video evidence that suggests otherwise.

I said by hollywood standards not normal people standards.

How a few simple words can send the racists into screeching fits

Big Red soda? Fucking Communist.

But seriously, is Big Red good as far as POP goes?

Yeah, British humor was actually good up until the early 90s, leftist or not.
I think that they managed to do the same in Yes, Minister, notably when Humphrey Appleby had to deal with some rabid feminazi and leftist, maybe their original idea was to make her an antipode of him, but in the end she looked more like his power-hungry mirror image that was just as power-hungry and rotten as the members of the byzantine civil service.
Here is the clip:


I think at the end of their little interaction she told him that he would have been a great addition to the British communist party, and he told her that she would have been a great addition to the Civil Service.

What? Then why did he make the commies the bad guys? Tanya has flaws like being a atheist but she is a decent person if you ignore that.

Why is that a flaw?

 

[LordsFire]

Why is that a flaw?

Because atheism is not a rational worldview.

 

[Ash's Boomstick]

Because atheism is not a rational worldview.

As opposed to the religious view that causes as much harm as it does?

 

[LordsFire]

As opposed to the religious view that causes as much harm as it does?

Is this a confusingly-worded allusion to the atheist argument 'religions have caused so much death, suffering, and destruction'?

 

[Ash's Boomstick]

Nope, humanity does that to itself, be they religious, athiest or agnostic. I'm saying that why is religion more rational than any other view?

 

[LordsFire]

Nope, humanity does that to itself, be they religious, athiest or agnostic. I'm saying that why is religion more rational than any other view?

Because the nature of the world reflects the work of an intelligent designer, and the nature and behavior of humanity perfectly reflects what is described in the Bible.
